In 1817 he sang at the King's Theatre in London with Joséphine Fodor, Giuditta Pasta, Violante Camporese, Pierre Begrez, Naldi, and Giuseppe Ambrogietti.[1] His made his first appearance at Covent Garden on 3 March 1820 in a concert of selections from Mozart's Don Giovanni alongside John Braham and other English singers.[2]
His roles in premieres include Sir John Falstaff in Salieri's Falstaff and Peters in Simon Mayr's L'amor coniugale.[1] The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians describes his voice was full, round, and sonorous.[1]
